UBS initiates coverage on DENTSPLY International (NASDAQ: XRAY) with a Neutral. PT $41.00.
Analyst, Steven Valiquette, said, "On the positive side, XRAY, as a virtual dental consumables manufacturing pure-play, tends to be more defensive in nature vs. other public U.S. dental companies (Patternson (Nasdaq: PDCO) /Henry Schein (Nasdaq: HSIC) / Sirona (Nasdaq: SIRO)). These companies have more exposure to more volatile dental equipment markets, which can turn downward quickly when economies soften. Thus, we feel XRAY deserves some premium for defensiveness in this environment, but this seems already reflected in the current 10x EBITDA valuation."
